Another aim is to provide novel means for connecting a canopy with the cabinet to convert it into a tent when desired.

With the foregoing in view, the invention resides in the novel fter subj ect-matter hereina described and claimed, description beingaccomplish ed by reference to drawings.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a bath cabinet constructed in accordance with our invention showing the entrance partly open. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the frame structure.

Fig. 3 is an e largeddetail perspective view illustrating the manner of fastening the brace bars of Figs. 1 and 2 to the corner posts.

Fig. 4' is an enlarged detail perspective view illustrating the manner of connecting the lower ends of the brace bars and anchoring them to the ground.

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the cabinet shown in Fig. 1 but illustrating the canopy attlached thereto and supported by a center Fig. 6 is a perspective view similar to Fig. 1 but illustrating. guy ropes or wires instead of brace bars.

Fig. 7 is an enlarged detail perspective view illustrating the manner 1n which the side wall supporting rope or wire may be connected with eyes on the upper ends of the corner posts, in the construction shown in Fig. 6.
